[Posted Jan. 23, 2025] On January 20, 2025, the President issued the Executive Order “Ending Radical and Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing and Initial Rescissions of Harmful Executive Orders and Actions (January Executive Order) Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs And Preferencing – The White House), which repeals Executive Order 14035, “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce.” On January 21, 2025, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) issued to all federal executive agencies a Memorandum providing initial guidance regarding the January 20 Executive Order (OPM Guidance).
Accordingly, AmeriCorps is currently conducting a full review to determine and implement steps needed to fully comply with the January 20 Executive Order and the January 21 OPM Guidance. We will notify you as soon as possible with any changes or updates to the AmeriCorps Seniors NOFO grantmaking process in light of the Executive Order and the OPM Guidance.
